Re: 18 months later

Hi Ausgirl1, Thank you for sharing your good news. It is always heartening to hear stories of what may be possible in our futures. I have always found it fascinating that you can ovulate on the side without the tube and the egg just travels down the other side. It's pretty clever that way. Sending g...

Re: Primary School Teacher going back to school

Sophie, You have been through so much in a short period of time. Surgery is an immense ordeal for the body to go through. In general, after about six weeks you should be able to return to most jobs from a physical point of view, so it is still early for you. Being a primary teacher will be is strenu...

Sophie, I am so sorry that you have suffered this ectopic pregnancy and loss. Even if we weren't trying for a baby, it is a physical and emotional trauma. We are grieving the loss of what might have been, as well as having concerns for our future health and fertility. People can be well-meaning, but...
